Viewed from above, Ikebukuro becomes a vast grid of architecture and infrastructure illuminated by night. The glowing highways cut through the dense fabric of towers and streets, defining the city’s rhythm with their orange trails. This photograph emphasizes the balance between geometric order and flowing movement, between the permanence of buildings and the transience of traffic. Rather than a static skyline, the image presents Tokyo as an intricate system, where architecture, light, and motion together shape the identity of the metropolis.
